Pakistan complete a remarkable one-wicket ODI victory over England in the fourth match of the tri-series in Lahore, after Shadab Khan makes an unbeaten century to overturn a near-certain defeat. Chasing 242, Pakistan are 154-9 before Shadab’s match-winning innings of 113* that includes 13 fours and five (or four, per one report) sixes, followed by an unbeaten 89-run last-wicket stand with Haris Rauf.
Several outlets frame the result as a “miracle” or “heist”, highlighting the dramatic swing from Pakistan’s late collapse to reaching the tri-series final. The reports commonly point to a key moment when Shadab is given out lbw around 97, but after a DRS review the decision is overturned, allowing him to continue. Coverage also stresses Pakistan’s record-setting last-wicket partnership in a successful ODI chase.
Beyond match details, some outlets foreground the public reaction: Pakistan’s PCB and senior officials congratulate Shadab and praise resilience. Others focus more on the wider cricket world reaction and on England’s missed opportunity, while maintaining the same core match facts—Pakistan’s late turnaround, Shadab’s unbeaten hundred, and the decisive last-wicket stand.
